The media has a way of describing kitbuilt planes in the MOST negative

EXPERIMENTAL to KITBUILT or HOMEBUILT after the test flying is done. We

this guy was doing some sort of wild flight testing right there over
downtown!


I'm not sure that "homebuilt" or "kitbuilt" would generate a more
positive perception.
